I'm going to be buying a new 24" iMac within the next week hopefully to replace my old (but still going) iMac g4 800mhz.

Anyways, what's the best way of transferring all my music and important files over from old to new? Can you still do target disk mode using a firewire cable? or is there better ways?

Also, is there anything interesting I can do with the old mac or am I best just getting some money out of it? I'm sure if I blanked the whole machine it would probably run for a couple more years pretty fine. I was kinda hoping I could make something useful out of it but have no ideas. I'd rather not sell it because it's such a cool machine but I don't want the thing gathering dust either.
